When temperatures soar in the capital, Abu Dhabi doesn’t just sweat it out — it powers up with purpose. The Department of Energy (DoE) has flipped the switch on safety with its electrifying new awareness drive, aptly titled “Your Safety is Our Priority.” This campaign isn’t just a seasonal suggestion — it’s a community-wide call to action aimed at keeping homes and workplaces cool, secure, and incident-free during the sizzling summer months.
The initiative is laser-focused on promoting the safe, sustainable use of electricity and gas — two vital resources that become even more crucial when ACs hum, appliances work overtime, and energy demand peaks across the emirate. From curious toddlers flipping switches to businesses juggling industrial-grade equipment, the DoE is making sure every plug, outlet, and gas valve gets the safety spotlight it deserves.
Eng. Ahmed Alsayed Mohamed Sheebani, one of the campaign’s key voices, emphasized that energy safety isn’t a luxury — it’s a foundational pillar of the regulatory framework that supports Abu Dhabi’s vision for a secure, efficient future. Through social media campaigns, workshops, digital resources, and community engagement, the DoE is lighting the way (safely, of course) to greater awareness, especially around gas leak prevention, appliance handling, and proper electrical maintenance.
Eng. Abdul Rahman Al-Alawi took it further, underscoring the hidden risks that come with high summer consumption. According to him, the mission isn’t just about preventing accidents — it’s about creating a culture of accountability, where safety is second nature and energy-conscious habits become part of daily life.
And it’s not just homes that are in focus. Commercial spaces, service centers, and businesses of all sizes are part of this safety equation. With everything from electrical load management tips to practical do’s and don’ts shared via the DoE’s official platforms, the campaign aims to reach every socket, circuit, and citizen.
So whether you’re grilling kebabs, powering your office, or blasting that AC, remember: in Abu Dhabi, safety is not just policy — it’s personal. And this summer, the real power is in awareness. 🔌🛑
